Snapped Ankles, a London-based post-punk and electronic dance quartet, is known for their enigmatic presence and their unique integration of raw, primeval rock energy with electronic noise. Crafting their identity around the mythos of being woodland creatures who embraced urban living, they entered the music scene exuding a theatrical flair. Their live performances are notable for their immersive, visceral nature, featuring members often clad in shamanic attire and utilizing self-made instruments, which contributes to their wild, untamed aesthetic. The band's members maintain a degree of anonymity, frequently using aliases and focusing less on individual personas and more on the collective experience.

Their discography reflects a penchant for eclecticism, drawing upon an array of influences from post-punk to krautrock, and imbuing it with a modern electronic sensibility. Snapped Ankles have received critical acclaim for albums like "Stunning Luxury" (2019) and "Forest of Your Problems" (2021), with tracks such as "Letter from Hampi Mountain" and "Rhythm Is Our Business" showcasing their ability to blend pulsating rhythms with pointed social commentary. The band often incorporates environmental and societal themes into their work, providing a commentary on the intersection of nature and the ever-encroaching urban sprawl. With a growing fanbase and a reputation for unpredictable and energetic shows, Snapped Ankles continue to push the boundaries of the post-punk genre, making them a distinctive and innovative force in the contemporary music scene.
